I would not pay for this. There are countless (FREE!) Chrome or Firefox extensions that allow you to do this (AGAIN, FREE!) by downloading all the images on the page and finding their source for the high res versions. If I were you, I would just offer this for free.
It's extremely bad style to accuse everyone who disagrees with you of sexism.

I don't think sexism is endemic to software, at least not more than areas where men are underrepresented.

I don't think this talk was sexist, at least not only to women.

I don't think anyone's to "blame" that women don't go into software. If anything, I've been way more convinced by the explanation that society pressures boys into strict field, like the STEM fields, and girls into "softer" fields.
One can only wonder if this game is going to be too geeky to cross over to significant adoption. I know a lot of people that got into Minecraft that would probably struggle with 0x10c.
Yep. I agree. Folks seem caught up on "face images", but you may want to consider gaining licensing rights to work with professional and collegiate sports. Dropping a New York Yankees pin-striped-uni on a foldable.me would sell pretty well as an add-on price. (And you wouldn't have to give up quality control) Good luck!

By what criteria do you define computing to not be a profession? :-)
Could be. I don't know much about the internal development practices at Apple. One has to assume they have strict development and testing guidelines, but you're right - it is possible that some programmer hammered this in, and the change slipped past the code review and testing phases.

Might be a disaster for the manufacturers in general, but it's been great for me. My Samsung N900X1B has completely replaced my ASUS Transformer - it's as light or lighter, can play 10-bit video, and can play windows games; I can and do use it as my main computer (except when I want to watch 1080p video). Of course it's twice the price, but it's worth it.

really? i thought women get extra cakes in software roundabouts just because theyre women. and the dev geeks are usually to shy to say anything bad too.

it's time we stop this annoying let's treat women the same crap. we're not, when was the last time you saw someone treat a coworker better because he was a good looking chap? now, when's the last time you or someone else treated a good looking girl better, just because she was a good looking girl? besides, how many times did you see a banker get hired with long hair and beard without suit?

as for this part:

"We’re better than this. Act like it. Treat your fellow developers with the same respect you’d treat someone you met on the street: basic, common courtesy. It’s not exactly asking a lot, so quit making it seem so hard to attain."

if you really treat your fellow developers like you treat people on the street, maybe you should rethink the way you treat people on the street. i treat people by merit, and they get an extra bonus when theyre a good looking lady. but when i see some moron being in a good position just because she's a good looking girl, you can bet ill treat her the way she deserves. when you want sometime you have to make sacrifices. I didn't exactly get my programming knowledge handed to me on a silver platter. my taekwondo teach had to beg his master for some of his knowledge. I can tell you plenty of stories about this. you want something, you have to show that you really want it. and no i'm not talking about sex, or sexism. You asking for free labour.

as for you yourself, you want an extra cake. you want to be able to spew your feminist nonsense and then expect everyone else to speak in politically correct terms.

you know what the meaning of the word tolerance is? it means to tolerate ones opinion even though you might not like it. it doesn't mean that you have to subdue to someone elses ideals just in order for them to become happy. you got that part wrong. now I don't like your attitude, but I tolerate it.

here's some food for thought. i've said a million times and i will keep repeating it. a lot of really awesome software that might strike you as not so good business, but is actually much more successful than the most valuable companies was built by hotheaded people, that didn't always treat each other in the best language possible.

Now here's the part you don't get:

How can a bunch of people that don't really like each other build awesome stuff TOGETHER?

because of respect. They respect each others opinions, they respect each others work, they might not like each other by they respect each other. This respect is merit based. The kind of respect you're talking about is not respect. It's social conventions that you made up in your mind with your friends. It holds no real value, it creates nothing.

by the way, even if you don't accept it, you have the same evolutionary traits as anyone else. men need someone to reproduce with, women need someone to protect them. the funny part is, most of us will never even notice.
While this concept appeals to me, I personally don't see this ever coming close to the mass market appeal of Minecraft.

Nice work! This looks good, but I would think about adding more templates as a customization factor instead of just colors. That may beef up your marketability! Good luck! :)
Cool service! Worked great on the stylesheet I tested.

You might consider describing the service and benefits on the page you process the file on. I wasn't sure what the service did immediately.
While the story is cool and it all sounds neat and very ahead-of-the-curve-esque, I'd just like to make one objection:

Despite all the advances in smartphone hardware and software since 2009, I still know many people who couldn't consider using any other phone than the N900. This was and is the only smartphone that you could actually make your own.

My Nexus phone would care to disagree. I have full control of everything running on it, and I can flash anything I like on it, including non-Android operating systems.
I wonder if they got the space checked out by an architect, or some kind of inspector. Probably not, as that would be destroying the open platform of building whatever you want.
Does this violate the second law of thermodynamics?
I bought one 3 months ago (damn!) and am very happy with it. I can't say for sure I saved X dollars but between airwave, auto-away and it's easy scheduling (compared to my old, confusing, impossible to understand thermostat) I can't imagine it hasn't saved me at least some money.

But on top of that it looks good in my high traffic hallway. Being in the hallway to my bathroom it acts as a nice night-light (it turns on when I step out of my bedroom to goto the bathroom and visa-versa) and overall has been a joy to work with.

This is a ingenious move. A much smaller subset than CoffeeScript and still a sensitive and important one that probably will be incorporate at ECMAScript 6. If not, you still have your vanilla JS. I'm not sure with TypeScript will succeed, but I'm sure that this is the way to fix JS's problems.
the 5ht sentence on the official coffee-script page[0] is: "It's just JavaScript", this sentence is not just marketing yadayada. everything that can be done in coffeescript, can be done in javascript, everything that can be done in javascript, can be done in coffeescript.

It's extremely bad style to accuse everyone who disagrees with you of sexism.

Fuck style; if it's true, it needs to be addressed.
I would argue that it has not been done before because Apple needed to give the ipod the competitive advantage. I think that its hard to say what would happen if iTunes now opened up to android devices too. Would the Music Play store sales decrease and Apples music sales increase? Would there be more music Apple sales with both iOS and Android but less iPods sold?

As I said it is hard to say what would happen and by how much.
Not to be a pedant, but historically computing was considered "womens work" in its initial stages.

I would address the the actual problematic elements of your comment, but I'm afraid in this forum such communication usually falls on deaf ears. Suffice it to say its easy to have a fatalist attitude towards "idiocy" when you're not the target in question.
Ask HN: Good resources to master SEO
Hi HN, I was wondering if you had any resources, tips and/ or suggestions regarding advanced SEO techniques (including link-building strategy).

Here are some of the resources I've already read or go to frequently (which I'd recommend to anyone interested in SEO):

- http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo

Looking forward to your suggestions!
> Here's a "hard fact". There are a lack of women in IT.

Agreed, there's significant disparity. My whole point is, that's all clear by now, no need to re-iterate every other day on top of HN. Now we want hard data and plans to act upon. But posts like OP are merely me-too rants.

> It's an issue because there aren't enough people in IT full stop

Please, PLEASE stop that cliche.

Not enough people in IT for what -- saving human lifes by creating CAT scanners and whatnot? Programming navigational computers for space exploration? Building the proverbial `Next Big Thing'? Or just for creating cute little flash games and sloppy AAA titles?

The mission-critical stuff gets cared of. It always was did, for several decades now. The haggle for more cheap labor goes for nonessentials, like enterntainment and business-line CRUD apps. Which are merely nice to have.

There's not enough skilled professionals from the buyers' perspective. There's too many skilled professionals from the sellers' prespective. Oh gasp the horror of open market.

I didn't say that "men are to blame for the lack of women in CS". I said that sexist comments don't encourage more women to enter into computing. That would include women making sexist remarks or abusing hostility to other women.

I do hope I have un-boggled your mind.

Not sure what sort of responsibility I need to bear here, incidentally. I'm certainly saying that if you make IT hostile or women you bear some of the blame for the lack of women partaking in it.

Oh, it might help to note that I'm male, and I'm in IT.
When idiots say stupid things, we have to call them out on it, or the assumption is saying such stupid things is okay.
I completely disagree with the point of view in this article. I recently purchased an ultrabook because I realised that is exactly what I wanted. Reason: weight and size.

I do agree that the current incarnation of ultrabooks isn't there yet. I always find that one or more of the following are wanting: they either have a limited 128 GB SSD hard drive or they have a tiny 32 GB hard drive plus large conventional drive, but the boot up speeds are slow (25-40s instead of 3-12s), or the screens are dull and flat with inaccurate colours lacking vibrance, or the touch pad keys are integrated with the rest of the pad and operate intermittently, or the cursor keys are too small (seemingly for no reason whatsoever), or the performance is jerky due to slow AMD or first generation Intel 1.7GHz processors, or they don't have enough RAM, or the battery life is terrible, or the machines just look really awful or are too heavy for an ultrabook, etc. And if they do have everything right, they are still way too expensive and/or don't support flash.

Nevertheless, I am utterly convinced ultrabooks will be a huge hit when they finally get them right. DVD drives will disappear and people will use SD cards and wireless peripherals for everything.
"women" is a substitute for "pussy" which means people you want to have sex with.

Right. Pussy as shorthand for sex is problematic because it reduces a woman to her sexual organs, it objectifies them. Would you enjoy being reduced to your penis?

That he's using women as substitute for "pussy" and that his phrasing juxtaposes them with "people" (even though that wasn't the intent, I agree) only highlights the problem further. I understand what he was trying to convey, but that doesn't excuse the wording and the attitude it reveals.
Clever idea. Would be nice to have a digital delivery method that sends a PDF so one can print them immediately. Americans are all about immediate gratification.

Its more efficient to use them up there in space, than to drop them into a hole (down the gravity well).

Think of it: the entire space-based mining industry needs equipment, parts, rockets, everything. Why make them down on earth? Make them in orbit, or better yet right there at the mine site.

The first decade of mine production would sensibly go toward more mining infrastructure. That's the most expensive equipment on earth - why send platinum down the gravity well to be made into pop cans, when you can sell it back to the mining concerns for making more mining equipment.

Then you start to question the whole point. Other than moving imaginary numbers (dollars) from one column to another, what's the point.

You must be talking about CDMA (EV-DO vs 1xRTT) only. Not true with GSM+UMTS networks.

As far as network operators are concerned, the more data (incl. voice channels) carriers that can be fit into their spectrum allocation and/or existing site layout, the better. Of course they want to use LTE for voice, but the VoLTE saga has been a long and drawn out one.
One of the article's key insights was this: for any *book to be successful, battery life is the killer feature. Actually, portability is the real killer feature, but battery life is a good proxy for that. Intel chooses not to focus on that in their specs, instead mandating all sorts of bells and whistles to compensate.

Not a winning strategy.

I agree with you that those toys and that marketing sucks, but I disagree that it is entirely clear that the toys and marketing are the cause of the problem.

Let me offer an example. I have a pair of friends who are both PhDs in CS, and both work at Google. They have a daughter whom both parents would love to see in engineering. The mom has the following story of when she gave up trying to resist her daughter's inclinations to make everything pretty instead of wanting to build stuff.

Mom left her daughter to play with a box of regular legos for a bit hoping that she would try to build something. When she came back a few minutes later, every green lego was out and a smattering of others scattered over the floor. Her daughter looked up with a big smile and announced, "Look! Here is my lawn, and these are the pretty flowers!"

I have watched this with my own daughter. First, let's be clear, we do not have a TV in our house and she does not see most of that marketing. But everything "girly" that she's been exposed to, she wants. Why? My best guess is that she's keenly aware that she's a girl, she's not a boy, and she actively seeks out clues as to how to not be a boy. At preschool she gets exposed to the idea of what girls play with, and she's happy to go along.

That is in her case it isn't a push from the external environment to be that way. It is a pull from within herself to figure out how to conform.

Whatever the cause, the extreme girl toys you hate are in the store because they sell. The marketing that you hate is done because it works.
Wait... From Mayan's website:

> Mayan EDMS uses Python, known for it's super speed and low hardware requirements.

Python is faster than Java? I'll give you "lightweight", but... what? Kudos on running it on the Pi, but I suspect once you start using search and such you'll feel like it's running on under-powered hardware. As far as clustering it, good luck (and that will be "cool" too) in that effort. In the end, I think you'd find it was maybe useful for a personal DMS, but "enterprise"? Probably not.

From the actual linked article / blog post (not from Mayan EDMS website):

> installing Mayan EDMS was no different than installing in on an every day computer

I disagree that there aren't enough people in IT. What I makes me annoyed is that there are many, many talented women who could be in IT or CS but who don't participate because of sexism or hostility in the workplace ecause of their gender.

It's not a matter of "lighten up". It's a matter of "stop being sexist and hostil to women". The onus is not on the victim to change her behaviour, but rather very much on the transgressors!
> Obama said he wanted to send more jobs to China last week, and no one was flipping out about that.

Really? I did a search for "Obama + China + jobs" and saw plenty of Mitt Romney literature complaining about Obama's overall China policy, but didn't see a specific line about sending more jobs to China.

Here's a recent article that says Obama was re-opening the unfair-trade case against China. That seems anathema to what you claim:

The article contradicts itself multiple times and reeks of pretense. Just like most UX guys I know.
I still own it and see no reason whatsoever to replace it.

Interestingly enough it still feels fresher then other smart phones that have the same amount of usage (~18 month).
Problem is: a lot of apps require a recent version of iOS.

A likely solution would be to stick with old versions of your apps running on an old iOS version, but:

* you don't get the feature updates

* you don't get the bugfixes

* some old version of apps just won't work anymore (especially the news apps that connect to a server)

* if you've got an app that constantly crashes (I've had it with one game in particular), you're stuck with it

Right now, my iPad 1 is running the latest iOS 5. It's obviously slower than iOS 4 but I could update all of my apps. For now...
The author is dead on for one thing - an ultrabook needs to be cheaper than the comparable MacBook Air, or the average consumer will buy a Mac, because most people think Apple products are better, but "too expensive", even PC people.

Intel and Microsoft spent the last decade making PC's cheap for the masses, but they cheapened the brand experience in the process with bloatware and lazy hardware design.

Microsoft seems to get this and is willing to make their own bloatware free hardware. They're even partnering with companies like Vizio to get rid of bloatware while doing some nicer hardware design, even for relatively cheap.

Even still, most consumers at the same price will buy a Mac because it's seen as a better computer. Ultrabooks need to hit say $500-700 to be interesting, but then they're competing with the iPad 3, which is pretty popular and very nice.
